Like the moon, we all have a dark side. Once we learn to accept the darkest, morbid, (and dare I say) sinful, parts of ourselves, we can then work on figuring out how to bring them to light and raise that vibe. But first we must acknowledge that there is a darkness within us. To know your dark side is to know yourself… and that is never a bad thing.

Dreams are the soul’s greatest wishes bubbling into your conscious thought. Give your soul the glee it pines for by chasing those wishes with your eyes wide open and your heart full of determination.

Imagination is encouraged and nurtured throughout childhood, but by early adulthood we seem to lose it and adult society even tries to repress it. Your imagination isn’t gone. We’re taught to push it under loads of responsibilities and harsh reality. Yet, so much can be accomplished, discovered, and developed when people — regardless of age — utilize their imaginations. Unbury your creativity!

You are the game master behind your greatest triumphs and hardest setbacks. Every great checkpoint you reach is yours to celebrate. Likewise, every error and glitch is yours to claim as well. Know that you, the creator of your storyline, have the ability to take control of the good and the bad that you put out into the world. Game on.

Burnout happens when we work too hard and don’t play at all. Recess isn’t just for kids! Schedule fun into your daily to-do list to protect yourself from burning out due to the stresses of the daily grind. Get out there and swing on those figurative (or literal) monkey bars.

Not all journeys you go on will be your choice. Sometimes life just sends us packing down the road. Other times we start on a path and it gets rocky and steep so we want to turn back, but retracing our steps isn’t an option. No matter the circumstances that put you on the journey, every road trip can be a fun adventure — it’s all about outlook. Make the most of it.

Sometimes we get so wrapped up waiting for a good thing to come along that we let life pass us by. We fear that if we live our lives, we’ll miss the opportunity we’ve been waiting for. The thing is, opportunities come to us even when we’re living life — especially when we’re living life. Don’t stagnate your life away. Live it up!

A broken heart can inflict unimaginable emotional pain, forcing us to self-reflect and analyze our core traits. It is perhaps the most unpleasant type of transformation any human can undergo, but in the end we’ll come out of the storm, more aware of ourselves and mindful, blossoming like tulips in the spring.

You may not know it, but to someone, you are ice cold lemonade on a hot summer day, spring rain that nurtures budding flowers, hot chocolate on a frozen winter night, and the crunch of autumn leaves on a chilly afternoon. To someone, you are all the wonderful things in the world.

You’re allowed to have bad days, to feel sad or overwhelmed or exhausted. The important thing is to not beat yourself up for having bad days. Negativity does not heal negative feelings. Bad days happen and that’s okay — you have another, amazing chance tomorrow.

Our souls know where home is, even when our brains don’t. Home is sometimes a place, but it can also be people. Throughout life, there will be people and places that we always seem to return to, that we’re drawn to. That’s home.

People who make a difference will attract the attention of others. Some will be awed and inspired by you, others will resist and ridicule your efforts. If people talk about you (good or bad), you can be sure it’s because you are impacting the world.
